Rahmanullah Gurbaz's Batting Is A Slight Copy Of MS Dhoni: Gavaskar
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar advocated for the inclusion of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) playing XI, highlighting that the Afghan wicketkeeper-batter's batting style is a "slight copy of MS Dhoni".
Gurbaz, known for his swashbuckling approach, had caught Gavaskar's eye with his explosive batting prowess. With Mitchell Starc, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine expected to secure three of the four overseas slots, Gurbaz faced competition from Jason Roy for the final spot. Gavaskar's endorsement added weight to Gurbaz's bid for inclusion.
"I have liked Gurbaz's batting a lot based on whatever I have seen. He is extremely aggressive, and his batting is like a slight copy of MS Dhoni, and that is why I probably like it,” said Gavaskar to Star Sports.
